Well said. If you're that angry about people making a buck & greed, CNN has a list of the top 10 banking, insurance, and mortgage people who've made millions for driving their company and our economy in the dirt. You might want to direct your anger toward them.

no one is angry, but corporations are always an easy scapegoat. stealing from the rich isn't any better than taking from the poor.

To each his own, happy turkey and shopping ! myself, I have no intention to sell/buy tickets and that doesn't make me any better than people who do.

I still believe this 'capitalistic' mindset, when it comes to deal hunting, can make people a little edgy when money comes into play; just look at all those BF videos:eyepoppin

The MAIN reason I am going is to get a good deal on a(n?) HDTV. Selling tickets is a bonus. As for getting a better job, I am an 18 year old college student working 21 hours a week @ $7.86 and hour, on top of 15 credits. Job offers are pretty slim when your school enrolls over 46,000 students.

 

Because money is just paper, and so are the tickets I will take, I feel NO shame in trading one for another.

Imagine you take the last ticket for some item. The person behind you shows up 30 minutes after you , because she is taking 24 credit hours. You choose to sell (for money) her the ticket, although she has never made more than $6.40 per hour.

Clearly, making a quick buck at the expense of others doesn't phase you.

 

btw, that's me standing behind you. Please don't justify greed with some sob story about making above minimum wage and taking a mediocore class load.

I am actually going to be in line for over 30 hours. I am going to grab 1 ticket per item, which is the limit. I will probably buy about 3 of those items for myself. I am looking for a 42-46" hdtv, and maybe some cheap computer components. I will sell the other tickets I don't use. I can see how this might anger other people, but the way I see it, they are buying the time from me that they weren't willing to spend in line.

money money money. Even during holiday seasons.

If you are standing out and sleeping on concrete for the sole purpose of selling tickets for money...you probably need to get a better job.

Hopefully the people you anger won't see you and jump you. You've seen those BF videos how crazy people get over money......

anyways, it's a personal decision about ethics. If you think there is absolutely no shame or selfishness/greed, you may want to re-evaluate your morals as a human being. Money is just paper.

question:

how come most people are just running and not grabbing a shopping cart? How would you carry a bulky item or a whole bunch of medium items to the front?

 

also, if you get a ticket at BB, is it necessary to run for it?

and finally.......do all BB have ticket system?

 

Thanks ! (newbie)

I've gotten everything I wanted from BB and sold the tickets that I didn't need...Me on the other hand made $350 selling my extra tickets at BB...

Why did you take so many tickets if you didn't need them all?

 

Me on the other hand made $350 selling my extra tickets at BB, to very thankful people who got to sleep all night long in their nice warm dry beds. I EARNED every dime! Why would the BB manager care about selling tickets? That $350 I got just went straight into his store!

doesn't seem like the money you "earned" going back to the store justifies exploiting the ticket system and consequently depraving fellow human beings...and by exploiting I mean taking so many more tickets ($350 street value) away from the 5-10 people right behind you in line who have been waiting just as long as you have, only to sell them for your personal gain.

 

This is not meant to be a personal attack, nor do I have a better ticketing system to offer. But I can certainly empathize with people who are willing to wait in line for X hours, only to see the ticket that could have been theirs , go to someone who walks up at opening time with 50 cash in hand.
